Midway
by Noomi Long Madgett
I've come this for to freedom and I won't turn back
I'm climbing to the highway from my old dirt track
I'm coming and I'm going
And I'm stretching and I'm growing
And I'll reap what I've been sowing or my skin's not black.
I've prayed and slaved and waited and I've sung my song
You've bled me and you've starved me but I've still grown strong
You've lashed me and you've treed me
And you've everything but freed me
But in time you'll know you need me and it won't be long.
I've seen the daylight breaking high above the bough
I've found my destination and I've made my vow;
So whether you abhor me
Or deride me or ignore me
Mighty mountains loom before me and I won't stop now.
In the first and last stanzas, the
poet created images of someone
on a challenging journey.
The poet used meter to give the
poem a songlike rhythm.
